Well, after a long hard battle of looking for new hard drives, digging up
3.x CD's, etc, I have 3.5.1 running, and it does in fact recognize the PC
Card reader. I can get it to "beep" when I insert a WaveLAN card, and spit
out an error message to the effect of "driver allocation failed for Lucent
Technologies."
Can anyone point me to a resource on getting this card running? If there
isn't one out there, and anyone is interested in helping me directly,
following is some info you might need.
Thanks!
-Avram
Here's what I've done to my kernel to get this running:
controller card0
device pcic0 at card?
device pcic1 at card?
#device ze0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 10 iomem 0xd8000
#device zp0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 10 iomem 0xd8000
device wi0 at isa? port? net irq ?
and here's what I'm using for a pccardd.conf:
# Generally available IO ports
io 0x240-0x360
# Generally available IRQs (Built-in sound-card owners remove 5)
irq 3 10 11 13 15
# Available memory slots
memory 0xd4000 96k
# Lucent WaveLAN/IEEE
card "Lucent Technologies" "WaveLAN/IEEE"
config 0x1 "wi0" ?
insert logger -t pccard:$device -s WaveLAN/IEEE inserted
insert /etc/pccard_ether $device
remove logger -t pccard:$device -s WaveLAN/IEEE removed
remove /sbin/ifconfig $device delete
